You have heard about plane hijacking but do you know about WhatsApp hijacking? The case of WhatsApp hijacking is slightly different from plane hijacking. It is not necessary that a user hijacks your WhatsApp account by force, but sometimes it happens by our mistake. What a user does with your contacts, chats and other information after an account is hijacked depends on your fate. Users can also misuse your data. Before anticipating such a situation you have to understand WhatsApp Hijacking.
What is WhatsApp Hijacking?
Most of the users nowadays use dual SIM. Due to which they do not recharge the less used SIM and it becomes inactive after some time. Sometimes users turn off their phone number or don't keep the number active for a long time. The WhatsApp account created by that number continues to be used. Suppose the telecom company allots your active number to another user. In this case, if the user creates a WhatsApp account with that number, he can access all the details of your account. Recently this happened to a user. A user bought a new SIM card and created a WhatsApp account with it but got confused as soon as his account was created. There was already a WhatsApp account active on his new number. On which there was a photo of a girl. The account was full of chats and group messages.
Keep these things in mind
Any user can get trapped in such a situation. It is not necessary that the user in front is smart enough not to misuse your account details. To avoid such a situation, users should take care of some things. For example, keep the number active from which you have created a WhatsApp account. If your current number has to be closed for any reason, update the number informing WhatsApp about this. You will get the option to update the account in the app itself. As soon as you update the number, your account will be transferred from the first number to the second number.
